Danish term or phrase: pavehattestrosse
This text deals with windows and window bars. But I have never heard of "pavehattestrosser" - nor has Google or Bing.

This part of the text discusses "palæsprosser" that come with some bars that are profiled as traditional "pavehattestrosser…".

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

mitred glazing bar(s)


Explanation:
Purely guessing, but try googling mitred glazing bars and see if any of the pictures and descriptions are any use.

I wondered at first whether this was a reference to a triangular section of tracery, for instance in church windows, but the Danish references I found did not seem to fit.

The mitre refers to the cross section of the bars.
Simply a literal translation of pavehat, so beware - I may be way off target!

Asker: Thanks for your help. I am not sure if that's the answer, but it was worth a try. It sounds to me like they invented the term themselves; so far, the only Google hits are the ones generated by my question :0
